that was election night. in december, the president said that spending is the problem, which is i believe why the credit rating industry came out the ratings a week ago and they said in the absence of a credible deficit reduction plan that the united states would be downgraded with regard to credit. in spite of the fact that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said that the greatest threat to our national security was our debt. democrats in the senate are now going to have to make a choice. do they agree with the president, that spending is not a problem, or did they agree with their constituents at home for focus on the fact that they are burdening our children and grandchildren with a mountain of debt, burying them under that mountain of debt. i just got back from wyoming where people continue to be very concerned and anxious about the debt for their kids and grandkids. the chance for freedom and opportunity is lost in as the debt continues to increase. this is an announcement that the obama campaign
